Abstract:
Prolyl endopeptidases, or post-proline-cleaving enzymes, are the specific endopeptidases that hydrolyze peptide substrates at the carbonyl of the internal Pro residue. All the currently known prolyl endopeptidases from animals, microorganisms, fungi, and plants as well as the post-proline-cleaving enzymes that do not exhibit the strict specificity to Pro are reviewed. The data on their physicochemical and catalytic properties, substrate specificity, inhibitors, sequences, and three-dimensional structures are discussed.

In this pathway, the target proteins are first tagged with small proteins called ubiquitin. A series of enzymes carry out the ubiquitination of the target proteins - E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme), and E3...

Peroxisomal Protein Import:
Peroxisomes lack the genetic machinery required to code for their own proteins. Hence, most peroxisomal membrane, lumenal and transmembrane proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm or ER and transported to the peroxisome...
